2015 Mississippi Code
Title 43 - PUBLIC WELFARE
Chapter 29 - PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
§ 43-29-11 - Granting of assistance
Upon the completion of the investigation, the county department shall determine in accordance with the rules and regulations of the State Department, whether the applicant is eligible for assistance under the provisions of this chapter, the amount of assistance he shall receive, and the date upon which such assistance shall begin.
It shall be the duty of the State Department insofar as is practicable to provide assistance to eligible persons, who, due to limitation of available funds have not been placed upon the assistance rolls, as soon as practicable after additional funds become available to the department and prior to making a general increase in assistance grants to persons already on said assistance rolls. Nothing in this section shall be construed to bar or limit any county department of public welfare from granting individual increases in the amount of assistance to recipients based upon their individual needs. The State Department shall, as soon as made possible by the availability of additional funds, take steps to eliminate all waiting lists.
